Covid - 19 Saftey Information
We ask that all visitors adhere to social distancing guidelines (1.5 metres) please.
Numbers of patrons are limited at any one time with 'Social Distancing' enforced.
The Canberra Walk-In Aviary is a 1000 square metre, planted, privately owned walk-in aviary where the friendly free flying birds can be observed, photographed and fed. The Walk-in Aviary's owners developed the aviary as a way to enjoy and share their extensive collection of feathered friends.
It is our mission to allow people to interact directly with the birds. "Birds share our world".
Visitors to the aviary walk amongst approximately 500 birds representing over 60 different species (Parrots, Finches, Doves and Quail) from Australia and around the world.
On admission to the aviary, as part of your admission price, visitors are given a small plate of food and a small tub of mealworms with which to feed the birds. Some (not all) will come and take the food from you and may even land on you.
The aviary is situated in O'Hanlon Place in the village of Gold Creek. Gold Creek Village is situated off the Barton Highway (road to Yass) in the Northern Canberra suburb of Nicholls. We are approximately 20 minutes from the City Centre.
Entrance to the aviary is behind the Green Gold Garden Centre in O'Hanlon Place.
We are open every day (except Xmas Day) weather permitting.
From Saturday 30th October 2021 through to Thursday 31st March 2022 the Aviary will open from
10 am to 5 pm with the last admission at 4.30 pm.
We are open every day, weather permitting (including Public Holidays) except Xmas day.
